Pardini GT9 is a semi-automatic pistol calibre chambered in 9×21mm or 9mm parabellum depending on market. It is manufactured by Pardini in Italy, a company founded by former competition shooter Giampiero Pardini and that exclusively manufactures sporting arms.[1]

It is a pure competition pistol with adjustable single-action push mechanism, relatively high weight and with a low bore axis. The company also manufactures the GT45, a .45 ACP version of the GT9 and the GT9-1, a longer version of the GT9.[1]

There are parts kits for the GT45 to fire 9mm Parabellum and .40 S&W, the parts kit is only for the GT45 because it has a bigger mag well than the others. The parts kit includes a slide, barrel, recoil spring, recoil spring guide, and 2 magazines and comes in silver or black. They do this so "You don't have to buy a second Gun" and they cost up to $1200-$1400.

The GT pistols all have a 115° grip angle and the high grip for strait back recolling. They also have a .40 S&W pistol called the GT40 and it costs $2999- $3199.

Each pistol comes with 2 magazines, extra recoil spring, tool bag, owners manual, and a hard protective Pardini case with logo.[2] There are scope mounts available, there are compensator Barrels that come with a compensator.
